Visit Stonehenge

England's most iconic prehistoric site, Stonehenge is an ancient stone monument that dates back some five thousand years to the Neolithic Period . A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is shrouded in myth and folklore, with many archaeologists believing that it was constructed by the Celtic Pagans as a temple for their Druids, whilst today it remains a place of spiritual pilgrimage, particularly during the summer solstice when thousands gather to watch the sunrise over the iconic stone circle.

Bath in The Roman Baths

One of the most picturesque cities in the UK, Bath was founded in the 1st century AD by the Romans who chose the site due to its abundance of natural hot springs. The magnificent bathhouses they constructed remain in fantastic condition, and are the most treasured of Bath's many historic landmarks, and though today they serve only as museums, those who want to experience the warm geothermal waters for themselves can do so at one of the city's four natural spas.
